Can President Bush pardon people who haven't even been charged with a crime?



Which brings up an interesting scenario.

Suppose Obama 'pardons' every undocumented person in the country (regarding being here illegally)...on the day he leaves office?

What then?
Funny that you mention that. If you read your current events, you will see that he is thinking of pardoning 750K illegal aliens. He is just wondering how to go about it. He can not give a blanket pardon. It has to be specific by individual name. He has a lot of work to do in order to get it done, and we all know he prefers to play or campaign than to do his work. I am sue he will find some staff to do all the foot work so he can just sign his name to it later.
